New Year’s Eve

I saw Del today and he’s all healed up now. He thanked me for the medicine and gave me a regal vanity. Then he told me to touch him. Uhh, no thanks.

Del: But now I'm fit as a fiddle, thanks to you! Oh, and touch my skin! It's all silky from sweating!It was New Year’s Eve, so I changed into my tuxedo and started stocking up on party poppers.

Tortimer: It's a party popper. 'Cause it's not a party without party poppers!I opened my gate at 10:30 and Yann came over to visit. The animals seemed excited for New Year’s.

Bob: There's less than an hour left before we all scream, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"Yann and I were coming up with names for fish-flavored cereal.

Jeff: Dace Krispies. Yann: Lucky Char.We couldn’t help but notice how often the music changes in the final hour of the year. Some of these songs only play for a few minutes each year.

Yann: Sounds soothing.With less than a minute to go, Tortimer could barely handle the excitement.

Tortimer: We're at the one-minute mark! Whooo, now this is excitement!Then midnight struck! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Despite what it may look like in the picture, I wasn’t half asleep. Or drunk. 😛

The clock strikes midnight and "HAPPY NEW YEAR" scrolls across the screen.The fireworks started, and Tortimer seemed to be enjoying them.

Tortimer: Whirrrr! Bang! Bam! BOOM! That's the sound of the new year! Shoot those fireworks high, boys!Egbert was also excited about it being 2013.

Egbert: Hip hip HOOOOOOORAY! Hip hip HOOOOOOORAY! It's finally 2013!Del seemed to be drunk (or maybe he’s mean sober too). He said he was looking forward to a year of me not bothering him much. HUH? Next time you’re sick, get your own medicine, punk!

Del: Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year of you not bugging me too much, landlubber!Happy New Year, everyone! Make 2013 a great year!

Gold Lining

Del was sick, so I bought some medicine for him.

Del flips as he takes some medicine.And Sally moved out of town this morning. I got her goodbye letter in the mail.

Dear Jeff, Today's my last day. I'm leaving Forest. Good-bye, Jeff. I hope you won't forget me! -Good-bye, SallyIt is Sunday, and that means new emotions are available in the city. It also means they don’t have any that I’m looking for.

Clerk: What show would you like to see today?Avery asked me for a new greeting, so I gave him a seasonably appropriate one.

Avery: Happy new year!I decided to do some work on my town. As visitors to my town have surely noticed, there have been several places where I had been stockpiling gold roses.

Lots of gold roses stockpiled on my dead end.Well, not any more. I’ve moved them all to locations lining my paths. That is my ultimate goal, to line all my paths with gold roses I bred myself. I ended up selling a lot of red roses in the process, but now over half of my town’s paths are lined in gold roses.

My paths lined with gold roses.The bad news is that I still have a long way to do. I still need hundreds more. But at least now less of my town will need daily watering.

I have decided when I’m going to open my Bananas gate for the first time: Saturday, January 5th at 10:00 pm Eastern time (7:00 pm Pacific).

Friday Night Forest

Last night I took Katie home to Tropical, and today I got a letter from her, thanking me. She sent me a lily-pad table.

Thank you, Jeff! I was glad to get home, but I got in real big trouble. Oh, I almost forgot! This is to thank you. So, thanks! -From the Lost GirlIt was snowing in town today (at least for part of the day), so I didn’t need to water my flowers, but I did find two new black roses. I happened to go in Sally’s house and saw that she’s all packed up and ready to move out.

Sally: Oh, Jeff! Um...hi! I don't think I told you, did I?At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Yann and Megan came over to visit. Yesterday was Yann’s one-year anniversary in her town Tropical, so she got a cake. She then ate it in front of us.

Jeff: Share da cake!We then went into my (farting/snowman) house for a while.

My room filled with snowman furniture and farting gyroids (tootoids).We talked about Mario Kart Wii, among other things.

Jeff and Megan: FUNKY STADIUM!Megan made it look like the snowman had pigtails. Shortly after taking this picture, I thought the snowman fridge behind me was a snowman chair and I kept trying to sit on it.

Megan standing behind the snowman so it appeared the snowman had pigtails.We then went upstairs into my creepy room. We had some fun with punctuation puns? Yeah, we’re weird, so what? 😛

Jeff: But don't " me on that.
